Late post -- completed RR

This is a picture I haven't posted here, and even though it is a round robin that completed several months ago, I think the doll merits posting. The very fact that a round robin completed and everyone in our group got our dolls back is a huge accomplishment. The last time I participated in a round robin, it was for a healing doll, and everyone in our group lost her doll...as far as we know, they are all bound and gagged in a garage in Canada.

But I digress, and I really don't want to be bitter about how that RR went, when this one was so successful. I sent the basic doll, done in that slinky, slippery, shiny peacock looking stretch fabric, made from a pattern done by Li Hertzi. Judi named her "Heart of Magic," and several other folks added on to her in the theme. I think she's absolutely glorious (although I have to admit that every so often I look at her and see John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever!) She is waiting to be suspended from the treehouse ceiling right now. You should see the traveling journal...it's magnificent, too.

About Me

I’m an incredibly fortunate Baby Boomer. My life has been filled with joy, challenges, and learning opportunities. My three adult children, their spouses, my beautiful granddaughters, and my amusing pets all color my life. (Though no one is more colorful or amusing than my dear husband, Oldtimer!) My childhood was unusual and my parents unique (Lolo was an astrologer before most people knew what that was; Hawkshaw a WWII vet who lost both legs), which, combined with enough moves to put me in nine different schools in 12 years, gives a different perspective on life experiences.
In my spare time, I work in my "tree house" of sewing and art projects (now on the ground floor, but still amidst greenery and overlooking water), as well as my soap kitchen, where I make beautiful luxury soaps and lotions.
I like to work, love home decor projects, travel eagerly, embrace non-mainstream spirituality, and am grateful for *something* every single day.
